Hi all.  I've had a problem using the bce driver on an IBM HS21 blade,
using a Nortel L3-7 switch.  This problem was documented quite a while
ago according to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=118238.  I
took the patch provided in there, and applied it to FreeBSD 7.1 and it
worked great.  I maxed out a 100Mbps LAN connection...so no bandwidth
hit either.

I know 8.0 is in the RC phase...is there any chance that this simple
patch can be put into 8.0?  If you have any questions on what I did or
more details on my setup, please don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks!
--Brian
